<div id="poppagecenterblock"><p><h1>Careers in Religion</h1>

<p>A degree in Religion, like other social science degrees such as Political Science, History, and Anthropology, prepares you for many different kinds of employment opportunities.</p>

<p>Many work positions require you to have advanced skills in research and writing, to be flexible, to be open, and to be quick in analyzing and handling new situations. 
A good general education develops these skills; and a degree in religion also equips you, in this age of globalization, to deal with different cultures and backgrounds. 
Our B.A. graduates work in government, industry, and education. Understanding diverse religious traditions is a valuable asset in today's world.</p>

<p>Religion may also be one of your fields if you go on to teach in high school or CEGEP. Teaching professionals are currently in very high demand, 
and there is an increasing awareness, in Quebec and across the country, of the importance of ethical issues and religions in education.</p>

<p>Some of our students go on to graduate studies, for instance, in religion, politics, and law. A few will choose an advanced academic career 
in teaching and research in some area of religion. Others of our M.A. and Ph.D.'s have gone on to related careers such as (to give but two examples) 
ethics advisor for a medical institution and community and social work.<br>
